Chapter 189: Why be frivolous
The prince's edict is not a holy decree, but it is also a deterrent, and it is probably equivalent to an official official document at the ministerial level.
Li Chengqian's edict to the prince is very interesting, first of all, "Juan deceived the prince", the first sentence took out the prince himself, that is to say, Juan did something outside The prince did not know about it, and the second sentence is "Looting and robbing the bearded girl", what is the robbery of the bearded girl used for? "Offering an invitation to flattery", what an abomination, it is simply condemned by everyone, so the third sentence "Angry when he heard the news, he killed Juan with a rod", His Royal Highness the Wise Prince really eliminated the harm for the people, and eliminated the wicked on behalf of the moon, the prince not only did not carry the black pot, but the overall image was also sublimated, and the image of discerning and upholding justice jumped on the paper.
The last sentence is the most worthy of charm, "The state has national law, and it is impartial and severe."
Juan has been killed with a cane, in other words, he has been punished, and now the prince's edict has to add a sentence "impartial and severe", if these four words seem to be in the eyes of the officialdom, they are completely confused, everyone has been killed by your cane, who else do I sentence? Don't make a fuss, everyone's busy......
But if you change the old oilman of officialdom, the interpretation of these four words will naturally be different.
"Impartial and severe", who is sentenced? Naturally, it is impossible to sentence people to death, so we have to put the whole thing out and look at it, the cause of the whole thing is that Juan forcibly robbed Hu Nu and was stopped by an idle man in Dongshi, when Juan beat the idler, Li Su, the former son of Jingyang County, stood up and beat Juan up, and extremely cruelly abolished Juan's limbs, the beaten idler ran away, and Li Su was imprisoned in Dali Temple.
This is the process of the whole incident, reasonable people can see that the fault of this matter lies with Juan, Juan plays the authentic villain in this matter, the righteous Royal Highness the Prince eliminated the evil Juan, Juan is dead, then the death penalty is eliminated, and now the prince wants Dali Temple to be impartial and severe, it is obvious that the sentence is not Juan's crime, but the crime of someone's crime of abolishing the limbs of the East Palace's subordinate officials in the city, because "the state has national law".
After the interpretation of this prince's edict by the old oilman in the officialdom, the implicit meaning is clear, and the words are even, and no one can find faults.
The officials of Dali Temple are not calm, they are not new to officialdom, and they can understand the meaning of the prince's edict at a glance. On the surface, His Royal Highness the Prince's posture is very stable, impartial and unruly, but in fact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is putting pressure on Dali Temple to severely punish Li Su, who committed the murder.
*********************************************************
The news of the Dongshi incident was also reported to the Taiji Palace at the same time.
Li Shimin's eyes straightened when he heard the news, and he was stunned for a long time, as if he couldn't believe it.
"Again, who is the person who beat the subordinate officials of the East Palace?"
The eunuch lowered his head and said respectfully: "Li Su." ”
"That Li Su in Taiping Village?" Li Shimin asked unrelentingly.
"Yes, the former son of Jingyang County, the supervisor of the Firearms Bureau, Li Su."
Li Shimin hesitated: "How is it possible? It's only been a few days since I led people to collide with the Du branch last time, and I just dealt with him, why did I beat people again? ”
"Your Majesty, the slave doesn't dare to bully the king, the beater is indeed Li Su, it is said that this time Li Su is particularly ruthless, and he has abolished Juan's limbs in the East Palace......"
Li Shimin was silent for a moment, and anger quickly appeared on his face: "This, this...... Bastard! Why is it him again? What does he want to do? Do you really want to be a bully in Chang'an City? ”
Long Yan was furious, the situation in the hall changed color, and the eunuch was so frightened that he knelt down on his knees, hanging his head and not daring to speak.
"Why did this matter come about, tell me the truth!"
The eunuch hurriedly told the whole story of the incident, and said it very objectively, in front of this heroic lord who dominated the world, the eunuch did not dare to add a word of oil and vinegar.
Li Shimin listened, and his angry expression gradually calmed down.
"The evil one turned out to be a subordinate official of the East Palace...... Li Shimin's expression quickly became gloomy: "In the East Palace of Cheng Qian, who are the people who are used!" ”
"Your Majesty, after the incident, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered the internal affairs of Juan to be killed, and ordered Dali Temple to be impartial and severe."
Li Shimin's expression eased slightly, and he nodded: "The disposal is fair and timely......
As he spoke, Li Shimin smacked his lips, always felt that something was wrong, thought about it, and looked stunned: "Juan has been killed with a cane, what is the sentence of Dali Temple?" ”
This was not a question that the eunuch could answer, so he quickly lowered his head and said nothing.
After all, Li Shimin is a wise king, and after recalling it, he roughly understood what the prince meant, and his expression became gloomy again.
"What does the prince do in the East Palace every day?" Li Shimin suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
The eunuch's eyelids jumped, every word of the emperor could not be for no reason, and this sentence was by no means something that he could answer as a eunuch.
"Slaves don't know ......," the eunuch's voice trembled.
Li Shimin nodded slowly, his eyes looked at the dazzling sun outside the hall, he didn't know what he was thinking, for a long time, he said lightly: "Li Su is locked up in Dali Temple first, I want to see what this matter will become in the end." ”
"Yes."

After clarifying the facts, Li Shimin did not want to express his position for the time being. Seriously speaking, Li Su's shot is based on justice, now the folk atmosphere is simple, the road is uneven and the things that pull out the sword to help abound, there have been several cases of rangers killing people on the street during the Zhenguan years, all because of justice, although chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, but the group of rangers is really not easy to deal with, because their prestige in the people is not small, they never take the initiative to cause chaos to the court, but once the road is uneven, killing people is also idle for them, the so-called law, they never put it in their eyes, the court wants to cut off, I also have to have some scruples.
Today's Li Su's behavior can be regarded as a typical style of a ranger, the starting point is right, Li Shimin is the most important official after he ascends the throne, if such a scum official teaches him to meet, he will also beat him, but Li Su is too ruthless, and he will waste people's limbs when he shoots, and he doesn't know who to learn from such a vicious heart......
For Li Shimin, Li Su's beating of people is a trivial matter, but Li Chengqian's edict of the prince, which seems quite clever in the eyes of others but is obvious in the eyes of Li Shimin, made Li Shimin very uncomfortable.
Zhenguan was crowned the prince in the first year, when the prince Li Chengqian was only eight years old, how clever and lovely the prince was at that time, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty praised it together, saying that it was "rich and majestic, benevolent and filial piety pure", these eight words were used on an eight-year-old child, which shows how much the courtiers appreciated it, and even Li Shimin's edict to canonize the prince was rare to boast of a sentence "early hearing of the wise philosophy, young view of the "poem" and "ceremony", but also can be seen how much love the father has for this eldest son.
However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was loved by the Manchu monarchs and ministers, has gradually changed his taste in the past two years.
Today's prince's edict is not the beginning, as early as the ninth year of Zhenguan there were signs, when the prince's right concubine Kong Yingda, the prince's left concubine Yu Zhining, the East Palace Shaozhan Shi Zhang Xuansu and other courtiers who taught and assisted the East Palace repeatedly admonished, saying that the prince "does not learn, has a luxurious voice, and is full of wisdom and decoratement", Li Shimin had to start paying attention to it.
Li Shimin did not express his position on the Dongshi incident, because he wanted to see what kind of trouble this matter would get in the end, and see what kind of heart the prince had.
…………
The news is still spreading in Chang'an City.
Chengfu, Changsun's Mansion, Wei Wangfu, Niufu...... Almost all the powerful mansions in Chang'an City who had intersected with Li Su received the news.
However, after receiving the news, none of the magnates said anything, and it was a strange phenomenon, almost calm, without a trace of ripples.
"This is an unusual disaster......
The old hooligan of Cheng Mansion squinted his eyes and showed a thoughtful expression.
Cheng Chu said urgently: "Why are you locked up again, Dad, you go to ask His Majesty for mercy......"
Cheng Yanjin's eyes glared: "What do you want?" The eldest husband is responsible for doing things, and when he does it, he should know what the consequences will be, and he expects outsiders to intercede, and the love accumulated by the Li family can withstand several consumptions? ”
"Yes...... But you can't watch him go to prison without saying it, our family is different from Li Su after all......"
Cheng Biting Jin glanced at him, too lazy to deal with such a stupid question, but wrinkled his brows, showing a thoughtful look, and muttered: "No, what is the Li family's baby causing trouble this time?" The last time he beat up the branch division, Lang Zhong can be said to be self-defiled in order to protect himself, but less than a month later, he wasted his hands and feet again, what is it for this time? It was the subordinate officials of the East Palace who were beaten, and making this move was tantamount to taking the initiative to grudge with the prince, wouldn't the hard work of the previous plan be in vain? And he was so ruthless, what was the Li family baby thinking? ”
Although he is a Geng Zhi general, after all, he is also an old fox who has been through ups and downs for a long time, since he met, Li Su's various behaviors have all revealed a strong little fox flavor, mentally speaking, Cheng Yanjin has unconsciously regarded Li Su as a person of equal status, so it has created an illusion that Li Su has a plan and a purpose for everything.
This is also where Cheng Biting Jin is puzzled now, no matter from which point of view, Li Sudong's abolition of the subordinate officials of the East Palace is all harmful and not beneficial, what is he trying to do? The reputation of "Chang'an little bastard"? It's loud enough, so why put the icing on the cake? …… Fall to the King of Wei? This is the way to die, Li Su would not do such a stupid thing,...... To intimidate the courtiers at the cost of offending the crown prince? That's even more stupid......
Cheng Biting Jin thought about it, this time the little fox's behavior was really incredible.
However, he didn't expect that Li Su was a very simple troublemaker this time, without any purpose and without any plan, just because he couldn't watch his brother being bullied.
Since you are a teenager, why not be frivolous?
